My old work-friends and I have been laughing about this, because many many years ago, we all worked at a company that designed corporate meetings: the brochures, signage, interior design, lighting, and speaker presentations. One client was an eyeglasses company that rhymes with MensRafters. There was a gap in the schedule that said something like “CEO inspires people” and we were told they’d handle it. At the meeting, the CEO rolled an orb that looked just like this onto the stage, and invited all of the top salespeople to walk onstage and touch it. When each person touched the orb, it would glow, and the CEO said “Yes! Touch the orb! Let its light inspire you!” and things like that. It was creepy crazy cult bonkers stuff.

At least the Saudi King looks sufficiently like he’s seen something terribly frightening to his very soul.
El-Sisi seems to see himself eating ice cream, and Trump looks as indifferently befuddled by ORB reality as he is by reality prime.
